St Nicholas & Big Muddy

Yesterday we had a tough morning getting Otis the wonder dog his rabies shot.  We finally had to give him some tranquilizer to get him calmed down enough for the vet to give him his shot and even then he growled and fought it.  Very unlike Otis but he does not like going to the vet.
When we got home Otis was wobbly and laid outside for a while before giving it up and coming inside to sleep it off.  Each of us had errands to run so we decided to let Otis have the house to himself while we ran errands and got something to eat.
After our usually debate on where to go we settled on St. Nicholas.  We've been going to the Landmark instead so we hadn't been there in a while.  I wanted the boom boom shrimp special but we were too early for it so I opted for catfish with house chips, slaw and hush puppies.  The Glue got a grilled cheese made with mac and cheese, bacon and jalapenos and a side of Italian sausage soup.
The catfish was on special and was very good but you only got one filet.  The house chips were good but I should have gotten a different side to stay away from so much fried stuff.  The slaw was also very very good.  I'm normally not big on hush puppies but this were excellent.  The Glues grilled cheese was surprisingly good.  The Italian sausage soup wasn't my thing but the Glue liked it.
On the way home we stopped at Big Muddy for a drink and of course the Glue had to call her brother with the new shirts and hoodies.  We both got Dunkeldog but while we were drinking it I asked about sampling a brown ale from O'fallon brewery and it was very good so we both got one of those.  We were the only people there so we got to visit with the owner Chuck and the cook who used to work at Merlins.  We need to make a point to eat there.
